Induct Chico Into the Hall of Fame Right Away

Corrales Deserves More than a Knee-Jerk Reaction

I fully understand the clamour to recognise Diego Corrales' contribution to boxing and the honour he always displayed between the ropes. However, I believe boxing must resist the urge to put him straight into the HOF. My reasons?

Well, in these troubled times, when boxing is under a withering attack from the MMA phenomenon I think it is important to focus on boxing's strengths, to promote - con****uously - the things that differentiate boxing from its youthful cousin.

To this observer, history, is a key advantage and I think boxing risks undermining this sense of history, tradition and substance if it reacts in haste and puts Corrales into the HOF.

I know Corrales' life is worth far more than the furthering of boxing in its time of adversity but I think Diego would understand that the sport he loved needs to display patience and thought, protecting the credibility and integrity of the kudos afforded to HOF entrants.

This isn't to surmise that Diego does merit a place in the HOF, but I think his case should be judged on the merits of his fistic career at some distant point because by acting in haste because of his sad death serves only to undermine those significant achievements.

Doesn't Corrales courageous spirit deserve more than a sympathy vote?

I think it does.

Let me tell you something about some bitches, I don't believe in hitting a women and I've never done it, I dated this ***** years ago and she always hit me when she was upset, some bitches are ****ing crazy and some guys don't take that ****.

You don't know the whole story, so shut your ****ing mouth up, you're a lowlife mother ****er.

You're such a class act. It is wrong to hit a woman. End of story. It's even worse to hot a PREGNANT woman. Cut the we don't know the whole story crap. I doubt highly this pregnant woman was physically abusive toward Corrales. Corrales is scum. Tell me where he's being buried, and I'll take a piss on his grave.
